Doing a movie is a stressful thing. You spend months of you life focusing into that one project, and I want to make sure I do something I really like or I'm really passionate about.

It takes years of building that experience as a filmmaker, as well as physically. You have to have a high level understanding of martial arts.

I think film, to me, as a director, is about telling a story.

In Hollywood, I'm lucky, I only do big movies like 'Blade.' It's much more comfortable: you have a trailer.

For years, I looked to Bruce Lee as a mentor as being a Chinese and Asian man living in this country.

Martial art is a form of expression, an expression from your inner self to your hands and legs.

A lot of Chinese martial arts films were based on Chinese martial arts novels. And these novels created a world of putting history, calligraphy, and martial arts into one.
